Oh lordy, my troubles so hard
Oh lordy, my troubles so hard,
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
(x2)
Went down the hill, the other day
My soul got happy and stayed all day
(x2)
Oh lordy, my troubles so hard
Oh lordy, my troubles so hard,
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
(x2)
Went in the room, didn't stay long,
Looked on the bed and brother was dead
(x2)
Oh lordy, my troubles so hard
Oh lordy, my troubles so hard,
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
(x5)
